How our film set catering works in Surbiton
If lunch moves, a cooked roast can be held for a while. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes. For milestone days on set and rural locations, we can cook a vegan option, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In Surbiton, unit bases are often in car parks or yards. Locations will arrange our position, often with council permission. The carving happens right in front of your crew, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Surbiton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
